The Matrix

The 1999 cult classic movie, The Matrix, has been a favourite with fans for years. And now The Matrix has been transformed into an innovative online slot by software developer Playtech. In The Matrix humans live in a manufactured reality while their bodies are used to give energy to the machines that have taken over the planet. This online slot has a whole lot of authentic Matrix elements to satisfy even the most die-hard fan.

The whole look of the game perfectly matches the movie, with the code running down the screen as a backdrop and the futuristic reels populated by familiar Matrix icons. The main symbols on the reels are the famous characters from this cult classic including Trinity, Morpheus and Agent Smith, and they pay out between up to 150 coins and 250 coins. You also have sunglasses, telephones, and some Matrix letters and numbers to complete the set and there are 5 reels and 50 fixed paylines.

There are two Wild Symbols in the Matrix, the first being Neo himself against the familiar backdrop of the Matrix code. The second is a black cat and this only ever appears on reel 5 in the main game, triggering the Deja Vu Shuffle Feature when it covers the entire reel from top to bottom. The Scatter Symbol is the Free Games Symbol and this triggers your FREE SPINS in the Matrix.

You can either select the Red Pill which gets 8 Free Spins with more Agent Smith Symbols, or the Blue Pill which gets you Unlimited Free Spins with special Sentinel Wild Symbols. If you choose the Red Pill, extra Agent Smith Symbols are added to the reels one each new Free Spin that occurs and this gives you a higher chance of winning big.

If you select the Blue Pill with Unlimited Free Games you are treated to an abundance of Sentinel Wild symbols that lock in place on the reels. The Unlimited Free Spins Bonus will only come to an end when there are six or more of the Wild Symbols on the reels at the same time. In the Deja Vu Shuffle Feature you are reminded that deja vu is normally a glitch in the Matrix and it occurs when they change something.

In this game all the Wild Symbols on reel 5 (the rightmost reel) will automatically duplicate onto reel 1 (the leftmost reel) and the rest of the symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 (the three middle reels) will automatically shuffle to form some kind of guaranteed new winning combination with up to 8 Extra Wilds.

The Matrix online slot from Playtech delivers on its promise of staying true to the feel of the original movie while retaining enough exciting elements of gameplay to make it perfect for anyone who loves a great online slot. It’s certainly one that’s on my repeat-play list.
